18:021:017 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft
           cometh their destruction upon them!  God distributeth sorrows
           in his anger.

18:021:018 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the
           storm carrieth away.

18:021:019 God layeth up his iniquity for his children:  he rewardeth him,
           and he shall know it.

18:021:020 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the
           wrath of the Almighty.

18:021:021 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the
           number of his months is cut off in the midst?

18:021:022 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that
           are high.

18:021:023 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and
           quiet.

18:021:024 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with
           marrow.

18:021:025 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never
           eateth with pleasure.

18:021:026 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall
           cover them.

18:021:027 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye
           wrongfully imagine against me.

18:021:028 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are
           the dwelling places of the wicked?

18:021:029 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know
           their tokens,

18:021:030 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they
           shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

18:021:031 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him
           what he hath done?

18:021:032 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
           tomb.

18:021:033 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man
           shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

18:021:034 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
           remaineth falsehood?

18:022:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

18:022:002 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be
           profitable unto himself?

18:022:003 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
           or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

18:022:004 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee
           into judgment?

18:022:005 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

18:022:006 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and
           stripped the naked of their clothing.

18:022:007 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast
           withholden bread from the hungry.
